She knew that Long Jiutian sent her back deliberately to destroy the relationship between her and Xiao Lang.
So she made her words clear, hoping that he would restrain himself.
Long Jiutian smiled: "You seem to be getting smarter and smarter."
"Don't you just like that I'm smart?" Li Mingxi raised his eyebrows.
Long Jiutian laughed: "Mingxi, I find that you are even more attractive to me than you were 13 years ago."
Li Mingxi felt sick after hearing this.
Long Jiutian let her go and said with a smile: "You are right. If I want to play, you can play slowly. If you play to death all at once, it will be boring."
So he agreed not to send anyone to pick her up tomorrow?
Li Mingxi was silent for a moment, then opened the door and got out of the car.
Long Jiutian smiled and blew a kiss to her, then the car started and left.
Li Mingxi stared at the back of the car as it drove away, feeling exhausted all over.
"Wife..." Xiao Lang's voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Li Mingxi turned around with a natural smile on his face: "You're back too."
Xiao Lang got out of the car, approached her, and saw the wound on her lip at a glance.
"What's wrong with your mouth?" he asked with a frown.
This Li Mingxi had already thought of his words: "When I came back, the car suddenly had a flat tire, and then I accidentally hit the steering wheel and cut my lip. The Long family sent a car to take me back."
Li Mingxi explained all the problems at once.
Xiao Lang knew that Lincoln car, and he originally suspected that Long Jiutian sent Li Mingxi back.
After hearing her explanation, he had no doubts anymore.
"Are there any injuries elsewhere?" He pulled her to look at her and asked with concern.
Li Mingxi shook his head: "No."
"You said why you have been in so many troubles recently?" Xiao Lang rubbed her head helplessly, "Why don't you burn incense another day?"
Li Mingxi was happy: "You are still superstitious."
Xiao Lang pretended to be mysterious and said, "I would rather believe that it exists than that it doesn't exist."
Li Mingxi laughed a little: "Okay, I'm fine, how can I be so unlucky. Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go back."
"Let's go." Xiao Lang hugged her and got into the car, then drove into the community and went home.
…
The next day is the Lantern Festival.
Xiao Lang had a day off today and didn't plan to go to work, but Li Mingxi had to go.
Long Jiutian told her to go there today, but she couldn't go.
Li Mingxi woke up early in the morning and was about to get up, but Xiao Lang hugged her from behind.
"Getting up so early? Are you going to treat people today?" Xiao Lang asked confusedly.
Li Mingxi nodded: "Yes. I have been very busy these days. The patient's condition is special."
She deliberately emphasized the word 'special', but Xiao Lang didn't hear anything.
"But today is the Lantern Festival..." Xiao Lang muttered.
Li Mingxi turned around and kissed his lips: "I'll be back as soon as I go. You'll go to your mother's place for the holidays in a while, and I'll go directly there after get off work."
"Please take leave today, don't go." Xiao Lang requested.
Li Mingxi thought about it too.
"I'm going to go and see if I can ask for leave. You can sleep a little longer, I have to get up."
Xiao Lang still couldn't bear to let her go.
Li Mingxi took his hand: "I'm going to be late. It's not good to be late."
"I'll take you there." Xiao Lang gritted his teeth and sat up.
Li Mingxi did not dare to let Xiao Lang provoke Long Jiutian.
"No, it's very convenient for me to take a taxi there. You send me there and you have to come back, so why bother going back and forth? I'm not a child anymore. It's no problem to go alone."
Xiao Lang said dissatisfied: "Why do you feel so uncomfortable during the holidays?"
